Patients Not Patents

 * – ( View AfD View log  •  Stats )

Declined A7 prod. This organization's sole claim to notability is that it submitted an amicus brief for a Supreme Court case in 2005. It gets a sentence of mention in a 2006 Guardian article, but Google doesn't yield other coverage in reliable sources. Most of the results are entries in nonprofit listings; some are other cases where the phrase "patients, not patents" are used. There are no news results. All in all, that's less coverage than the recently deleted Bill of Rights Defense Committee. Also of note, it's been unreferenced and tagged for notability for a few years, and their official website seems to be dead. --BDD (talk) 17:47, 19 August 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete per BDD's thorough research and well-founded argument. --MelanieN (talk) 17:55, 19 August 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete, essentially per nom: I couldn't find any significant coverage in reliable sources either. Seems to be a non-notable organisation. Robofish (talk) 17:00, 21 August 2012 (UTC)
